' Application filed September 26, 1891. Serial No. 406,885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: and the joints are rendered tight bysuitable Be it known that I, JOHN DEMAREsT,a citipacking,such as putty; and it is to be underzen of the United States, residing at the city stood that the end section having the dam 3 and State of New York, have invented an Im-. is also provided with an end 5, which may be 5 provelnent in Urinals, of which the following either a plate bolted on or cast with the rest is a specification. of the section, and there is an opening through In Letters Patent No. 381,221, granted to this section for the water to pass oif to the me April 17,1888, a trough or container is trap G, which trap may be ofany desired represented beneath the seats and a cistern character, and it is preferably connected with 16 from which the water is supplied automatithe trough by bolts, as usual, and at the 0pcally to one end of the trough or container. posite end of the urinal the chamber 13 is This invention is an improvement upon connected to the end of the trough-section and a modification of the device. represented by flanges and bolts, the flanges upon the in the aforesaid patent, whereby the urinal chamber B corresponding to the flanges upon I5 is rendered more cleanly, and it is adapted the trough,so that the connection of the chamto be extended to any desired length. ber can be made to any one section of the In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation trough. representing four divisions of a urinal.

If either jet-pipesDand E, longitudinally of the trough the head of the screw or the point were ex- F. This trough F is of porcelain-lined castposed, it would be liable to rust and prevent 3 5 iron and is U-shaped, the back being higher the separation of the parts for repairs. To

than the front, and the bottom 2 of the trough avoid this, I make the shield thicker at the is flat, or nearly so, in order that the water place where the screw-hole is provided, and I may lie uniformly, or nearly so, upon the botthe said hole is not bored through. Hence the tom of the trough, and with this object in upper end of the screw is protected, and by 0 40 view thereis a dam 3 near the delivery end reference to Fig. 1 it will be noticed that the of the trough. thickened portion of the shield for the screw The trough is made in sections. Preferably is beveled off in each direction, so as not to each section is of a length adapted to two (11- increase the weight of the shield unneces- Visions, and the sections are uniform in shape, sarily. 5 so that any desired number of sections can The jet-pipes D and E are perforated upon be put together to extend the urinal any retheir under sides and in such a direction that quired distance. At the ends of each section the jets of water will flow against the interior of the trough there are flanges 4 standing surfaces of the urinal-trough, and in cases outwardly, so that the ends of the sections of where an automatic flushingcistern is made 50 the trough come together square and are seuse of the entire trough will be thoroughly cured by bolts passing through the flanges 4, washed and cleansed each time the water is discharged from the cistern, and to facilitate the proper flushing of the bottom of the trough there is a concentrator K at the lateral opening from the chamber and on the level of the bottom of the trough. This concentrator is made similar to a quarter-globe, with a flange screwed to the vertical face of the chamber B and having a nozzle 7 above the bottom of the trough, the opening being square, or nearly so, and this opening in'the nozzle is below the ordinary level of the water in the trough as it is retained by the dam 3, so that when the water issues from this concentrator little or no noise is made, and there is a sufficient rush of water along the bottom of the trough to carry the contents of such trou'gh over the dam 3 and thoroughly cleanse the urinal.

Difficultyhas heretofore been experienced in so supporting the partitions or divisions that they can be easily removed for repairs and in constructing such partitions so that they will not be injured or become rusty, and to obviate these difficulties I provide the partitions L, of cast-iron, having a ribbed or molded edge, and they rest upon the top of the upper shield H, and there is a bracket-plate N, which maybe connected at its back edge with the wall and rests upon the top edges of thepartitions L, and this bracket-plate is provided with tongues or projections extending out over the upper edges of the partitions L and bolted to the same at 8, so that these partitions are not only supported at the back, but lateral motion is also prevented by the tongues or projections of the bracket-plate N, and'along in front of the trough there are tie-bars 0 extending from one partition L to. the next and close along beneath the top flange at the front of the trough, and these tie-bars are provided with angle ends'or flanges through which the bolts 9 pass, which also go through the lower parts of the partitions and firmly support these in place, and in consequence of the partitions being in line with the flanges 4, that join the sections of the trough F, these tie-bars O are adjacent to the flanges, and end motion to the tie-bars is prevented by such flanges, as illustrated in Fig. 4.

I claim as my invention- 1. The combination, in a urinal, of a trough made in sections, with end flanges bolted together, the back of the urinal being higher than the front, an end section having a dam in the bottom of the trough and a supply chamber at the other end of the trough, with a flushing-opening, and the water-pipes passin g along the urinal and perforated and opening into such supply-chamber, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with the trough-sections having end flanges and bolts, of perforated water-pipes passing along the trough within the back and front edges thereof, shields connected with the trough and partially surrounding the water-supply pipes, and an end chamber into which such pipes open and to which the water is supplied, substan tially as set forth.

3. The combination, with the trough F, made i in sections and having end flanges bolted together, of the shields H and I, having enam-.

eled surfaces and projecting inwardly and downwardly, and the screws passing up into the shields to connect them with the trough, substantially as set forth. 1

4. The combination, with the trough made in sections and having end flanges and bolts to connect them together, of a water-supplying chamber at one end of the trough, a dam and escape-pipe at the other end of the trough, pipes leading from the water-supply chamber along the inner edges of the trough and perforated for directing the jets of water upon the inner surfaces of the trough, and shields bolted at the edges of the trough and partially inclosing the water-supply pipes, substan tially as set forth.

5. The combination, with the trough made in sections, with end flanges bolted together, of cast-metal partitions projecting across the trough, a, bracket-plate over the upper edges of the partitions, bolts for connecting the'partitions and bracket-plate, and fastenings for securing the parts to the wall, substantially as set forth.

6. The combination, with atrough made in sections and bolted together, of partitions above the. trough, the tie-bars O in front of the trough and below its flanged upper edge,

and bolts for connecting the tie-bars and the partitions, substantially as set forth.
